Allen's eyes narrowed, yet his smile remained, shifting into a more playful and teasing expression.

It seemed like he was mulling over something.

I didn't bother guessing his thoughts and went straight to the point, "If it's too much trouble for Mr. Clark, then never mind."

"Heh," he chuckled dryly, "What trouble? It's not just something you're asking for; even if you wanted me myself, I'd be more than happy to oblige."

His words were a bit forward.

“Haha,” Allen let out a roguish laugh, then gestured for me to take the lead, “Ladies first.”

I wasn't interested in bantering with him. Since he let me start, I decided to end it quickly.

So, I took the cue in hand and cleared the table without giving him a chance.

Allen didn't show any sign of distress over losing in one round. He even led a round of applause, "You really are Jefferson's friend, quite the player."
